Yeah I picked him too, but I'm really enjoying watching him get some humility beaten into him.

Fedor got caught making a dumb mistake, Anderson is getting dominated over the course of 15 minutes and counting. Huge difference. No one has actually out-fought Fedor like this, or even come anywhere close.

Cough Ricardo Arona

Japan has a different judging system. You don't get points for laying on someone or getting mount and not attacking, you get points for attempting to finish.

Yes, but Fedor has been challenged, and even defeated if you use north american scales, point being he was challenged.

Well he hasn't been challenged in the last 8 years then? heh. That was Fedor's 4th or 5th fight, not relevant to today's rankings.

Well he just lost by being overaggressive, no domination, but he lost. So superman died.

Dammit Chael... that was a total fake tap. Looked just like Lindland back in the day.

Chael was pure class though in not trying to say he didn't tap.

The one where Anderson Silva wins and Chael Sonnen loses? or the one where Anderson wins and Fedor lost?

Yeah but he was trying to get the ref to buy in to the "I didn't tap". Unlike the Linland fight the ref didn't bite and restart it. That's is the only real black mark on Big John's record that I know of.

I will say Silva didn't look like himself at all. I will give Chael credit he did good but Anderson looked to be running at 60%.

You're right he did, but at least by the interview he took it like a man.

That's the only reason I didn't pick Sonnen, dude still leaves those arms stretched out where he's vulnerable. This fight will probably be the greatest moment of Sonnen's career, I will remember the ass woopin' that Sonnen put on Silva more than the fact that Silva won. This was among the greatest title fights ever.

Yeah took it like a man in the interview and I was really glad of that. He was very humble and respectful. I was shocked that he didn't pull the hole it wasn't me thing.

This is a great moment for Silva too, the night he was challenged his hardest for sure. Not sure how he won. Chael honestly moved up a lot in my book. hopefully he shuts his mouth and just rides on his ability to grind.

just wow

The ability to fight through adversity is what separates the best from the great.

Anderson Silva fights suddenly seem interesting again.

Kos can win. And also, do you see why Anderson doesnt engage against bjj specialists usually? because this could happen, only he would be subbed.

You mean Jon "go grab a bite to eat" Fitch? How did he avoid fighting Kos? By promising to poison his food the day of the fight? Did you hear him make this promise? Must have been intense, hearing that.

I've got some match ups in mind for some of the guys that fought tonight

Chael vs BelcherSaunders vs Alves(let him stay at 170 dana, he will be bad at MW) plus those two will stand and trade
